The module themes are 1) structure and agency and 2) power and inequality.
There are four blocks to the module; these are:
Block 1 gives you a brief overview of how these questions shape criminology. Through films about sex workers and self-inflicted deaths in prison, you’ll begin to explore what different responses to these questions reveal about relationships between individuals and society, and power and inequality. You’ll be introduced to the ways in which criminologists use theories and concepts alongside observations to build an understanding of the issues that interest them.
Block 2 begins by exploring different understandings of the causes of crime and some of the criminal justice responses that come from them. You’ll be introduced to biological, psychological and sociological explanations of crime causation and explore the main ways in which different criminal justice policies are understood to address the problem of crime. 
Block 3 starts with the question why are some harmful actions and behaviours considered to be criminal, while others are not. You’ll look at who defines crime, how such definitions are enforced and how some, but not all, lawbreakers come to be labelled as “criminals”. You’ll consider the role of the victim in criminal justice systems and explore the key issues surrounding their inclusion and exclusion. You’ll also learn about aspects of criminal justice such as community justice and policing, and ask questions about how effectively criminal justice policies achieve their stated goals.
Block 4 considers the limitations of criminology and criminal justice for thinking about other harmful actions that fall outside the gaze of crime policy and practice. You’ll be introduced to the concepts of ‘invisible crimes’ and ‘invisible victims’, and explore the idea of that the physical harm and injury caused by some social structures, institutions and social and economic policies can be understood as a form of violence. The module concludes by examining the implications of a social harm perspective for policy and practice, and inviting you to reflect on your own theoretical positions.
FOR PART ONE I WOULD LIKE TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT QUESTION 1 AND 3 USING THE MODULE THEMES
FOR PART 2 AS INSTRUCTED IN THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH 2 QUESTIONS TO ANSWER 
ALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE ATTACHMENT 

Begin the assignment by discussing the background/history of your selected topic (1 page). Then proceed to discuss in detail each side/position of the issue (4 pages; 2 pages per side). Lastly, select which position you support and explain in detail why you support that position (1 page). Students are required to substantially use at least five outside academic sources (not including the assigned class readings) for the assignment. Students are permitted to use the class readings for the assignment, but the assigned class readings do not count as one of the five outside sources. For the background and position sections, students must back up their statements with facts/evidence.

Write a four-page reflection, : What were your initial thoughts on RJ when being introduced or re-introduced to the concepts in this class? What do you see as the possibilities of RJ practices? What do you see as the challenges to bringing RJ to increased prominence in the traditional criminal justice system? What questions do you have as we embark on a closer study of RJ?

Week 5 Discussion: Law Enforcement
Supporting Lectures:
Ethical Systems
Crime Control
Discretion and Law Enforcement
Discretion and Corruption
The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
In this final week, we will apply the concepts reviewed in this course to the law enforcement function. For this week’s discussion, consider the following questions, with the ethical systems in mind.
Is it ethical for detectives to deliberately use deception during an interrogation? The Supreme Court has ruled that deceptions are legal, but are they ethical? If so, identify under which ethical system police would be permitted to use deception as an interrogation technique.
All police agencies make use of informants. Larger departments even pay their informants and keep track of their contributions to cases. Discuss the ethical problems of using informants to assist with investigations.
You have read about a concept known as “accepted lies” in police work. Give an example of an “accepted lie” and show how it is ethically permissible.
